As Gu Nianzhi spoke, he took out his laptop and connected it to the projector in the court. After connecting it, he explained to everyone: "Everyone knows that Ms. Luo Xinxue passed away ten years ago. Her death was once determined to be suicide. . But the recent autopsy by Dr. Zhu, a famous military forensic doctor, proved that Ms. Luo did not commit suicide, but died of murder."
"Objection. Luo Xinxue's case has been over ten years and has long passed the prosecution period. This case should not have been filed at all." Jin Dazhuang threw out the first "objection" today.
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows. This Jin Dazhuang really looked down on himself as a newbie, and actually used this kind of "objection" full of mistakes to try to gain a head start.
Gu Nianzhi counterattacked without hesitation and said coldly: "Jin Dazhuang, you are really ashamed of your reputation. According to the laws of the Chinese Empire, murder cases have no prosecution period and are valid forever. Seeing you like this, you can become the chief executive of JD Law Firm I think my future is bright."
Jin Dazhuang became angry and protested to the judge: "Objection! What the other lawyer said has nothing to do with this case!"
"You are the chief lawyer representing the defendant. I have doubts about your professional ability. How come you have nothing to do with this case?" Gu Nianzhi retorted, refusing to lose his momentum at all.
The judge was suffocated by her, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he nodded to Gu Nianzhi: "It's not directly related, so it's better to say less."
"Yes, your honor." Gu Nianzhi stopped talking and picked up a laser stick in his hand, pointing it at the large screen hanging on the wall on one side of the courtroom.
The projector was turned on, and a refrigerator room appeared on the big screen.
Then the camera panned to a distant view of a body on the operating table.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the body with a laser pointer, "This is the body of Luo Xinxue that has been quietly stored in the underground refrigerator of the Military General Hospital for ten years. It is also the body of Miss Huo Jialan, the wife of former military colonel Huo Guanyuan. Mother."
"... Our purpose is to prove that Luo Xinxue's death was not suicide, but homicide. And our only direct evidence may be this body." The small red dot on the laser wand in Gu Nianzhi's hand circled the big screen Luo Xinxue's body drew a range, "If you say this evidence is small, it is indeed too thin. But if you say it is large, it is the most powerful evidence. Because there is nothing that the body cannot tell you."
The judge nodded, looked at the big screen intently and asked: "...What did you find?"
"...The most critical piece of evidence is here." Gu Nianzhi said, tapping twice on his laptop and pulling up a photo.
This time, it is a clearer photo of Luo Xinxue’s body.
She lay on the autopsy table with her eyes closed, the white drape pulled up to her chest, exposing her shoulders.
The face was pale to blue, not rotten at all, and there was an obvious incision on the neck.
Gu Nianzhi pointed to the incision and said, "This is where Dr. Zhu made the incision. You can see her throat all the way to the stomach pouch."
The people in the court were looking at the big screen intently, and they were all a little nervous. They knew that there must be a major discovery, otherwise Gu Nianzhi would not specifically list this photo.
Sure enough, Gu Nianzhi then called up another photo: "Look, here is a side view of the deceased's laryngeal muscles. It was so severe that it was twisted to the point where it was almost impossible to swallow pills."
"... I remember Luo Xinxue's autopsy report said that she committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills. If her throat was so badly irritated, how did she swallow the sleeping pills?" Gu Nianzhi grasped the key point and made the first obvious one Doubts were thrown out.
"This is the biggest doubt. In this state of intoxication, unless external force is used to push the pills into her throat, otherwise, she will not be able to swallow them by herself, and she will definitely spit them out. "Forensic doctor Zhu made the final decision. As an expert witness, he declared that the possibility of murder in this case was far greater than suicide.
It was only with such significant evidence that the Imperial Capital Intermediate Court announced the filing of the case.
After the Bai family learned that the case had been filed, they immediately applied to the court to hear the case secretly on the grounds that the case might be confidential.
Even Huo Shaoheng had no objection to this.
Therefore, the trial of this case will only be attended by the prosecution and defense parties and the other party's family members, and will not be open to the media or the public.
Huo Shaoheng only proposed that the final trial results must be made public.
This was also accepted by the court.
When Gu Nianzhi was at home, he knew the cause and effect, and admired Huo Shaoheng even more.
From New Year's Eve to now, in less than a month, Huo Shaoheng, in addition to completing his own work and dealing with the trouble that Miss Dou suddenly brought back, has actually put Bai Jinyi's case on the agenda in an orderly manner.
From the selection of expert witnesses to the preparation of evidence for presentation in court, nothing was left behind.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at Huo Shaoheng, who was calm and composed, and sat down with a victorious expression on his face. Whispering discussions immediately filled the courtroom.
At this time, Bai Jinyi's defense lawyer Jin Dazhuang asked again: "Miss Gu, I have a question."
"Please say."
"How can you prove that the damage to the throat muscles of the deceased was caused before death? Not after death?"
Gu Nianzhi was slightly startled. This was indeed a misunderstanding. After death, it is true that muscles will suffer from swelling due to various reasons.
However, after forensic doctor Zhu made this discovery during the autopsy, he immediately concluded that it was caused before death, so the conclusion that the deceased committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills is not valid.
The question raised by the defendant's lawyer hit on the misunderstanding of their judgment, and it is indeed very sharp.
This golden shape does have several brushes.
If Gu Nianzhi and the others could not come up with a reasonable explanation, then the court would definitely invalidate Zhu Zhu's conclusion based on the principle of "beyond suspicion", so it would not be murder.
The courtroom suddenly fell silent. The sound of the central air conditioner was originally very subtle, but in this silence, the subtle sound seemed to be amplified. Gu Nianzhi only heard a constant buzzing sound in his ears, as if something had happened. Thousands of little bees spread their wings and fly at the same time.
She frowned at her laptop screen.
The screensaver on Gu Nianzhi's computer screen is dynamic.
A rare orchid bloomed on the screen. A small seven-star ladybug slowly climbed up along the orchid leaf vines until it climbed to the petals of the orchid that were shaped like an inverted bucket. Then it seemed to be unsteady on its feet, and suddenly it suddenly The veins with petals fell into the depths of the orchid.
Gu Nianzhi looked at this picture and suddenly had a vague idea in his mind.
The seven-star ladybug fell into the orchid, but who can prove how the ladybug got in
Did you fall in it yourself, or did someone else push it in
… If there are no witnesses, perhaps only the seven-star ladybug can prove it.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked: "Forensic Doctor Zhu, can you prove whether the sleeping pills entered the deceased's stomach pouch before the throat muscles ruptured, or after the muscles ruptured?"
If the throat muscles entered the deceased's stomach before the throat muscles exploded, it would be entirely possible to commit suicide by swallowing sleeping pills. Forensic Dr. Zhu's previous conclusion is likely to be overturned by the other party's lawyer.
Only by proving that the sleeping pills entered the stomach of the deceased after the throat muscles were stimulated can it be proved that the death of the deceased was indeed a murder and not a suicide.
Dr. Zhu thought for a moment, took the laser pointer from Gu Nianzhi's hand, pointed at the picture, and said slowly: "You can take a closer look at this side view of the larynx. There are serious scratch marks in it. The tablets of sleeping pills were left behind when they were forced into the throat. If the throat muscles were in a normal state, swallowing such a dose of pills would not have caused this result."
Gu Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She took back the laser pen from Forensic Doctor Zhu and nodded, "Thank you, Forensic Doctor Zhu, for your professional explanation." Then she turned to look at the other party's chief lawyer, Jin Dazhuang, "You are satisfied with this answer. ?"
Jin Dazhuang smiled and said, "We will verify the photos again. Also, we request that a third-party neutral forensic doctor be sent to re-anatomize Luo Xinxue's body."
"Are you doubting Forensic Doctor Zhu's professionalism?" Gu Nianzhi reacted quickly, immediately causing Forensic Doctor Zhu to glare at Jin Dazhuang.
"It's not suspicion. But forensic doctor Zhu is from the military, and it is right for us to ask for an impartial and independent third party to conduct an autopsy."
